Benefits
Top 10 Reasons Why Autodesk Subscription is a Smart Investment

Get the benefits of increased productivity, predictable budgeting,
and simplified license management with Autodesk® Subscription.

1. Cost-Effectiveness
If you typically upgrade your Autodesk products, you can save money
with Autodesk Subscription. It does not matter when you upgrade;
every year, every two years, or every three years. Subscription is a
cost-effective way to keep Autodesk software up-to-date, and
represents great value over time.

2. Predictable Budgeting
Autodesk Subscription offers a way to make software costs predictable.
Whether you opt for a one-year subscription or a multi-year subscription
contract, your costs are known for the entire term of the subscription contract.
This means improved cash forecasting, and the possibility to include
subscription fees in project estimates and billing. 

3. Technology Upgrades
Autodesk Subscription helps make sure that you always have fast access
to the latest release of the software made available during the term of your
contract; this includes major releases and feature extensions. 
Features extensions, exclusive to subscription members, can provide new
functionality and/or feature enhancements between major releases. 

4. Web Support
Web support, direct from Autodesk, provides fast, complete answers to
technical questions to help you get more from your investment in Autodesk
software. Direct, one-on-one interaction with Autodesk support technicians
right at the desktop can improve productivity and help avoid expensive
downtime. You also have the option to keep your reseller automatically
informed of your support requests and resolu­tions that were provided to
you by Autodesk. 

5. e-Learning
e-Learning consists of self-paced, interactive lessons for many Autodesk
products. Each lesson is 15–30 minutes in length, and lessons are organized
into product catalogs. The lessons feature hands-on exercises, with an option
to use a simulation instead of the software application. You can also use the
built-in assessments to identify skills gaps and the lessons that will help you
the most.

6. Technical Knowledgebase
The Autodesk Knowledgebase is a comprehensive online resource that enables
Subscription members to search at any time for crucial information and learning
materials that can help them get the most out of their production environments.
Advanced search filters and personalized search capabilities give you fast
access to the most relevant solutions in the knowledgebase—making it easier
to find the information you want.

7. Flexible Licensing Terms
Never miss a beat in your production! Only subscription members are entitled
to use previous versions of the software concurrently with the upgrades, in
order to access new functionality in the upgrade (for evaluation or production
use) without disrupting ongoing projects.  In addition, you have the flexibility
to use Autodesk software license in the office or at home.
